At Zenith for more than six decades, we have looked to the future of the commercial landscape, investigating ways in which Asia Pacific's unique cultures, traditions and hopes can be translated into commercial spaces that actively support the idiosyncratic needs of so many users and uses.

University life is about so much more than attending classes. With such spaced out schedules, it’s no surprise so many students choose to spend their downtime on campus – studying, relaxing, socialising. These activities need dedicated spaces and dedicated furniture to encourage healthy student life.

More than just technologies for the gaming industry, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) are changing how we design, create and experience everything from buildings to cars to working environments.

Last week, thousands of design professionals, along with the public, descended on the third annual Melbourne edition of Denfair, a three-day event featuring carefully curated designs from local and international brands.

Following Schamburg and Alvisse’s recent Gold Award win at the Good Design Awards (2018) for the EDO Streetscape, Schamburg + Alvisse’s latest collection, we caught up with the prolific pair to learn what’s happening in the commercial space – and where to next.

"Over the course of the last century our workplaces have transformed beyond recognition. What were once spaces designed purely for function, the offices of today focus on leading edge technology, collaboration and community," says Bob Stewart, head of ZENITH's research and development.

Is there anything as dynamic as a revolution? Rapid, rambunctious, and radical, revolutions are often over as swiftly as they begin, leaving behind a swirl of rubble to be rebuilt and rearranged into something new. In short: revolutions are great, but they can only last so long.

Zenith returns to the INDE.Awards in 2018 as Platinum Partner. Taking the Asia Pacific’s best design to the global stage, we look forward to celebrating this region’s most excellent in creative practice.
